Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 44)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes.
(Fig. 45)
Storing tool
Biologically degradable saw chain oil can only be kept for
a limited period. Beyond two years after manufacture,
biological oils begin to acquire an adhesive quality, and
cause damage to the oil pump and components in the
lubricating system.
– Before taking the chain saw out of service for a longer
period, empty the oil tank and fill it with a small quantity
of engine oil (SAE 30).
Malfunction status
The chain saw does not start.
Chain does not run.
Insufficient performance.
No oil on the chain.
Chain does not stop even the
chain brake is engaged.
The tool vibrates abnormally.
